The two of them happened to be staying around Flying Dragon Island recently, so after receiving the mission, both were quite surprised.

Hand Rubbing Diamonds laughed out loud: “Scapegoat, we’re really lucky, we didn’t expect that the rendezvous point of the exploration mission we got is actually right on the island we’re currently on, saving us the trouble of traveling.”

Upon hearing Hand Rubbing Diamonds’ words, Iron Black Pot couldn’t help but smile: “It is indeed quite surprising, it’s our good luck. By the way, do you think this time it will be like last time and be divided into two exploration tasks?”

Hearing what Iron Black Pot said, Hand Rubbing Diamonds thought for a moment, then gently nodded: “I think it’s quite possible, I guess players who received our mission are already heading over to Flying Dragon Island by now.”

“When they gather, we can ask them and should be able to get information.”

Hearing Hand Rubbing Diamonds’ words, Iron Black Pot lightly nodded, which meant he agreed with Hand Rubbing Diamonds’ opinion.

Iron Black Pot glanced at his nearly full minecart and then said, “Let’s go out and submit the ores first. Currently, there are quite a few members of our two Player Corps on Flying Dragon Island. Let’s gather them first and coordinate.”

“And then wait for other players to gather.”

Hearing what Iron Black Pot said, Hand Rubbing Diamonds gently nodded, then the two of them filled the minecart and immediately headed outside.

After submitting the ores, the two started gathering the players from their own corps on the island.

In no time, all the players from our two Player Corps on the island were gathered.

Currently, the players from their two Player Corps on the island, although not numerous, are not too few either, roughly about one-fifth of their corps.

As for the other players in their corps, they are spread across other islands, and they usually contact each other through the offline Player Corps group.

If there’s something important, they can mention it during meal times in the Player Corps group, and quickly gather all the players from the corps together, making it quite convenient.

However, the exploration mission currently received obviously doesn’t require them to go and gather through the offline corps group, since this exploration mission must have been received by every player.

At this time, Iron Black Pot glanced at the Hand Rubbing Diamonds beside him, then suggested: “Diamonds, should we go and gather some information? There are quite a lot of players on Flying Dragon Island, and it’s possible some received exploration missions different from ours.”

Hearing what Iron Black Pot said, Hand Rubbing Diamonds thought for a bit, then looked off into the distance: “When we gathered the players from our corps, almost everyone we saw was gathered, nobody seemed like they planned to leave the island, so it seems like the tasks these players received should be the same as ours.”

“But you make a good point, I think there’s no harm in checking. How about we split up to do some reconnaissance and then meet at the Assistant Mage of the Sound of Cyan Wood, what do you think?”

Hearing Hand Rubbing Diamonds’ words, Iron Black Pot immediately nodded, then the two of them instructed the gathered corps players to spread out and see if there were any players planning to leave the island.

If there are, they should gather some information to see if their task is different from our own.

If it’s different, find out what their exploration task is.

So, Iron Black Pot and Hand Rubbing Diamonds quickly split up with their corps players, flying rapidly in all directions of Flying Dragon Island.

Before long, Iron Black Pot noticed something unusual.

A group of non-flying players was rapidly running towards the coast of Flying Dragon Island.

Flying Dragon Island is quite large, so it probably would take these players a quarter of an hour to run to the coast.

This clearly showed the difference between them and the flying players.

If they were players with flying abilities, they could fly straight through the sky.

Moreover, even if flying players had the slowest flight, it wouldn’t be much slower, and they could reach the coast in just a short number of breaths, without spending so much time.

Iron Black Pot thought for a while, then quickly flew above the running players, and said: “Brothers, by the looks of it, you guys are planning to leave Flying Dragon Island, right?”

Just now, when Iron Black Pot was high up, he noticed that there was a medium-sized ship at the coast where these players were heading.

It’s worth mentioning that the non-flying Player Corps had made a lot of ships as their corps’ assets, so their players could use them for travel.

After all, rowing is much faster than simply swimming.

They marked their ships with their corps’ insignia, making it easy to identify which ship belongs to which Player Corps.

Furthermore, these non-flying Player Corps made agreements among themselves not to take over each other’s ships.

As for the flying Player Corps, they didn’t participate, since they could fly quickly to their destinations and had no interest in the ships of non-flying Player Corps.

This group of running players recognized Iron Black Pot.

Iron Black Pot is somewhat well-known among the players.

Although not as famous as Wangzai Little Buns, the majority of players still know him.

Thus, despite seeming anxious, one player took the time to reply: “That’s right, we received an exploration mission. We’re planning to leave Flying Dragon Island and head to Gemini Island for rendezvous.”

“Mr. Scapegoat, it looks like you’re planning to stay on Flying Dragon Island?”

Upon hearing their answer, Iron Black Pot nodded lightly: “That’s right, my exploration mission is to gather on Flying Dragon Island and then continue exploring southward, so I’m not planning to leave the island.”

“Seeing you guys planning to leave the island made me curious so I came to ask.”

After hearing Iron Black Pot’s answer, the player grinned and said: “Looks like it’s the same as last time, the exploration tasks are different. The task I got starts from Gemini Island and goes westwards. Seems like we’re destined not to travel together.”

After hearing this player’s response, Iron Black Pot’s interest was piqued, and he continued to ask more about the details of their exploration task, and then stopped.

After thinking for a while, he flapped his wings and quickly flew toward the Assistant Mage of the Sound of Cyan Wood.

Soon, he reached the Assistant Mage of the Sound of Cyan Wood.

After waiting for a while, Hand Rubbing Diamonds and the players from their two Player Corps returned one after another.

Then they discussed the situation together, after learning about this, Hand Rubbing Diamonds was a bit surprised and said: “I thought it would be just like last time, with two groups of players each exploring southwards from different places.”

“But unexpectedly, this time one group of players is exploring westwards, and the other group southwards, the directions aren’t even the same.”

Hearing what Hand Rubbing Diamonds said, Iron Black Pot lightly shook his head: “That’s just what we know for now, who knows if there might be a third or even a fourth exploration task.”

“I think it’s possible.”

Upon hearing what Iron Black Pot said, a player from Hand Rubbing Diamonds’ corps immediately chimed in: “Brother Scapegoat makes a very good point, I think it’s possible to have four corps, with two exploring southwards and two exploring westwards.”
